He alsosaid Lupita’s is not the only restaurantand bar in the ShirleyAvenue neighborhood and patronsof other places are also takingparking spaces. But residentswho live close to Lupita’s say theyno longer feel safe coming homefrom work late at night and walkingthrough aggressive crowds toget to their front doors.Commissioners felt Lupita’s,which was initially opened as arestaurant, had exceeded the limitsof its license and was operatingas a night club.Commission Chairman RobertSelevitch said had Lupita’s ownerscome before the commissionto expand their entertainmentlicense, he suggested he wasn’tsure it would be approved.“It’s gone too far,” said oneneighbor who works at night inBoston and can never fi nd a parkingspace when he gets home.“The problem for Lupita’s is thenoise never stops.”Lupita’s owner agreed to rollback the hours for music havingit end at 11:30 pm and closing thedoors at midnight. Commissionersencouraged the owner to livewith the new hours for a coupleof months and if all goes well, hecan apply to extend those hours.A second hearing was held todiscuss a set of similar complaintsneighbors have made about LaHacienda on Revere Street. Residentscomplained not about themusic of a mariachi band whichplays until 11 pm, but about adisc jockey who takes over at 11pm and pumps up the volumeuntil 2 am. Revere Street residentsalso have the same problemwith noisy late-night crowdsand no parking left for homeownersand residents.The big diff erence between Lupita’sand La Hacienda is that theowners of La Hacienda have triedto work with the neighborhoodto address concerns.But the Commission pointedout that the restaurant did nothave an entertainment licensefor a DJ. La Hacienda agreed withthe Commission that the quickestand easiest solution is to eliminatethe DJ which would solvethe noise and crowd issues. Theyalso agreed to scale back closingtimes to 1 am and to return to thecommission if they wanted toadd a DJ with the proper license.The Commission also held ahearing on a complaint aboutserving customers past closingtime at Capri on North ShoreRoad. But the complaint was ayear old and the only complaintfi led against the restaurant. Theowners said it was a mistake andthey have been cautious eversince. The commission said thecomplaint would be kept on fi leand would return if there wereany other problems.Commissioners acknowledgedthat some of these problemswere crowd issues not the directproblem of the establishments.But residents argued that residentialneighborhoods are notan appropriate site for a nightclub.

They saidthe measure would dismantlearchaic legal barriers to basicparenting responsibilities formodern families, opening thedoor to legally attend and makedecisions during medical appointments,manage a child’s fi -nances, participate in educationaldecisions and provide authorizationsfor a child’s travel.“Today we acted to ensurethat if you are a parent, whethera biological parent or not, thelaw will recognize you as a parentjust as society does,” said Rep.Mike Day (D-Stoneham), HouseChair of the Committee on theJudiciary. “This bill will removeone of the last vestiges of thelaw that treats same sex parentsand parents who engaged in assistedreproduction diff erentlyfrom every other parent. It is agood day for all families in Massachusetts.”“Withunprecedented andalarming action in other states tostrip away the rights of LGBTQ+people and our families, Massachusetts’outdated and heterocentricparentage laws put LGBTQ+families at risk every day,”said Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro).“The Massachusetts ParentageAct is personal—LGBTQ+ familieslike mine face excessive andexpensive hoops just to ensureour children have the securityof legal parentage. The Legislature’spassage of this bill is a criticalstep to guarantee that all childrencan benefi t from the stabilityof a legal parent-child relationshipno matter how they cameto be in this world.”(A Yes” vote is for the bill.)Sen. Lydia Edwards YesDOG KENNEL SAFETY — OLLIE’SLAW (S 2929)Senate 40-0, approved a billthat would allow the MassachusettsDepartment of AgriculturalResources to establishrules and regulations fordog kennels in the Bay State,to ensure animal welfare, protectconsumers and keep kennelstaff safe. A person who violatesthe regulations wouldbe fi ned $500 for a fi rst off enseand $1,000 for a second or subsequentoffense. The Househas already approved a diff erentversion of the measure andthe Senate version now goesto the House for consideration.Required regulations wouldinclude obtaining a licensefrom the municipality, an annualinspection, dog to staffratio specifi cations, injury reporting,indoor and outdoorphysical facility requirements,insurance and minimal housingand care requirements.Supporters said that currently,the state has no oversightof dog daycare or boardingkennels. They argued it is estimatedthat a dog is injuredor killed every 9 to 10 days inMassachusetts at these kennels.They noted that manyfamilies have suff ered the lossor injury of an animal at a dogdaycare or kennel that couldhave been prevented by commonsenseregulations overthese facilities.The bill was fi led in memoryof “Ollie,” a 7-month-old labradoodlewho was attacked byother dogs at a boarding kennelin East Longmeadow. Ollieneeded round-the-clockcare and surgery and was inthe hospital for two monthsbefore succumbing to his injuries.While the facility wasshut down by town offi cials,Ollie’s owner Ann Baxter wasstunned to learn that therewere no state regulations regardingboarding facilities,and soon took up the fi ght tohelp ensure tragedies like thisnever happen again.“Pets are family who provideboundless love and aff ectionthat we are lucky to receive,”said Sen. Mark Montigny (DNewBedford), Senate sponsorof the bill. “For this reason, it iscritical that we ensure all businessesentrusted with the careof our family adhere to properhealth and safety protocolsno matter what town they operatein across the commonwealth.Too often, we haveheard devastating stories ofpets like Ollie who have beeninjured or killed due to negligentcare. These people haveno place caring for such preciouscreatures and it’s timethat we implement consistentstandards across Massachusetts.”(A“Yes” vote is for the bill.)Sen. Lydia Edwards YesALSO UP ON BEACON HILLFISCAL 2025 STATE BUDGET(H 4800) — Gov. Healey, aftervetoing several items, signedinto law a $58 billion fiscal2025 state budget for the fi scalyear that began July 1,2024. The price tag representsa 1.97 billion or 3.5 percent increaseover last year’s fiscal2024 budget.“Massachusetts is the leaderin innovation and education,the best place to raiseyour family or grow a business,”said Healey. “But we alsoface challenges, so we aren’tresting — we’re going on offense.This budget delivers onour shared priorities and drivesour state forward with urgencyand purpose. It invests in areasthat we are already leading onand makes them better — includingour number 1 rankedschools and our nation-leadingchildcare strategy. We’realso tackling our biggest challengesby lowering householdcosts and improving transportation.We’re doing all of thisresponsibly, staying within ourmeans and in line with the rateof infl ation.”“Once again, the Massachusettsbudget is the latest statebudget to pass in the countryand once again, it’s the largeststate budget in our commonwealth’shistory,” said PaulCraney, spokesman for theMass Fiscal Alliance. “Whatshould also concern everyMassachusetts taxpayer is thefact that the Legislature andgovernor are spending overa billion dollars a year on theillegal and inadmissible migrants,which comes out to beabout $3 million dollars a day.Every town and city in Massachusettscould use that moneyfor their workers, schools andfirst responders but instead,Statehouse leaders are spendingthese valuable taxpayer resourceson illegal and inadmissiblemigrants.”WAGE TRANSPARENCY (H4890) — Gov. Healey signedinto law a bill, named the FrancesPerkins Workplace EquityAct, in honor of the fi rst womanto serve as U.S. Labor Secretary.The measure would requireemployers with 25 or

Healey. “This new law isan important next step towardclosing wage gaps, especiallyfor people of color and women.It will also strengthen theability of Massachusetts employersto build diverse, talentedteams.”“I am proud that we as acommonwealth are takingconcrete and nation-leadingsteps to close long-standinggender and racial wage gapsthat persist across our economy,”said Sen. Paul Feeney (DFoxborough)a lead supporterof the bill. “These gaps not onlyerode the integrity of work inthe commonwealth but alsocontinue to exacerbate an uneveneconomy for workingpeople, especially women andpeople of color who have historicallyfaced persistent andglaring inequities in the workplace.By bringing partners inlabor, business and communitytogether to establish commonsense wage and workplacetransparency, we will ensureMassachusetts can continueattracting and retainingdiverse and skilled workersthat enable our commonwealthto compete and thrive.With the signing of this bill,workers are empowered andbusinesses are supported.”$1.26 BILLION BOND FOR INFORMATIONTECHNOLOGY (H4889) — Gov. Healey signedinto law a bill that would investin information technology (IT)upgrades, improvements andnew projects across state government.The measure authorizes$1.23 billion in bondedspending and $400 million inanticipated federal funds.“We’ve talked a lot aboutthis administration’s desire tolean into applied artifi cial intelligencein ways that benefit not only the way the statedelivers services to residentsand businesses, but also theway that our businesses andeconomic sector are able tothrive,” said Healey. “And wethink that making applied AIa cornerstone of our economicdevelopment bill is really important.It’s further supportedby this FutureTech Act.”“When it comes to advancingthe delivery of governmentservices for our residents andfor our state and municipalworkers, information technologyopens that digital door tomeet people where they are,”said Chief Information Offi cerand Technology Services SecretaryJason Snyder. “The impactof IT on the services thecommonwealth provides cannotbe overstated. To that end,we are already hard at work onmany of the investments inthis legislation.”DISABILITY PENSION FORPOLICE OFFICERS (H 2536) —Gov. Healey signed into lawlegislation that would providepolice offi cers who have suffereda violent act injury, 100percent regular compensationand pension benefi ts, untilthey reach the age of mandatoryretirement. Violent actinjury is defi ned as “a seriousand permanent personal bodilyinjury sustained as a directand proximate result of a violentattack upon a person bymeans of a dangerous weapon,including a fi rearm, knife,automobile, explosive deviceor other dangerous weapon.”“Our first responders goabove and beyond to keepour communities safe and respondto emergencies,” saidGov. Healey. “That’s why it’scritical that we support themwhen they experience emergenciesof their own. This legislationensures that fi rst responderswho are injured inthe line of duty have accessto the pay and health care, includingmental health care,that they need to support theirfamilies and their road to recovery.”Supporterssaid that undercurrent law, a first responderforced to retire due to a violentact injury can only receivebenefi ts through the localretirement board via thehome rule legislative process.They said this process is onerousand has resulted in disparatebenefi ts being granted ona case-by-case basis.“This legislation ensures thatfi rst responders who are forcedto retire due to a violent injuryreceived in the line of dutydo not struggle to make endsmeet,” said Sen. Cindy Friedman(D-Arlington). “Frankly,this cannot come soonenough. Recognizing the extremeburden placed on thesefi rst responders and their families,mandating 100 percentcompensation until retirementage is the right way to honortheir service and sacrifi ce.”Rep. Steve Xiarhos (R-Barnstable)said workers who arethe victims of traumatic eventsat work would also be eligibleto receive certain mentalhealth services to assist withtheir recovery. “The bill wasinspired in part by several recentcases of fi rst responderswho suff ered serious injuriesin the line of duty, including retiredSomerville Police DetectiveMario Oliveira and Springfield Police Offi cer Nestor Santos,”said Xiarhos.BAN ELEPHANTS AND OTHERANIMALS (H 4915) — TheHouse and Senate approvedand sent to Gov. Healey legislationthat eff ective January1, 2025, would ban elephants,bears, lions, tigers, leopards,jaguars, cheetahs and otherwild animals from being usedin traveling circuses and othertraveling shows in Massachusetts.Violators would be fi nedbetween $500 and $10,000.The ban would not apply tozoos or to performances thattake place at other non-mobile,permanent facilities ifthe covered animal is a residentanimal at the same facilityin which the performancetakes place.“We’re ecstatic that after somany years of advocating forthe state to take a stance onthe suff ering of animals, as wellas the public health and safetyrisks. The bill to prohibit elephants,primates, bears, giraffes and big cats in travelinganimal acts passed both chambersin the Legislature unanimouslyand is on the governor’sdesk,” read a press releasefrom the MSPCA. “This is truly atestament to the perseveranceof advocates and legislators tospeak for those who cannot.We’re optimistic that the governorwill sign the bill and putan end to these archaic acts inour state.”QUOTABLE QUOTES“We were absolutely thrilledto witness the signing of thebill, standing shoulder toshoulder with Gov. Healey,our legislative champions, advocatesand survivors fromacross the commonwealth. Ata time when so many statesare weakening their legislativeresponses to gun violence,we are so proud to see Massachusettstake this tremendousstep forward. We are alsoso proud to have been a partof this advocacy every step ofthe way. This law ensures thatMassachusetts will continueto lead the way, showing otherstates the impact and importanceof taking a comprehensiveapproach to preventinggun violence.”--- Ruth Zakarin, CEO of theMassachusetts Coalition toPrevent Gun Violence on Gov.Healey signing the bill changingthe state’s gun laws.“Massachusetts voters sentthese elected offi cials to BeaconHill to stand up for ourhealth, to protect us from corporategreed and to safeguardour climate. On all counts, theLegislature has failed. Despitetwo years of mounting evidencefrom experts, advocatesand offi cials in the Healey administrationsending a clearsignal that it’s time to movebeyond gas, the House failedto adopt reasonable measuresfrom the Senate to move thecommonwealth off of gas.”--- Mark Dyen of Gas TransitionAllies.“Egos may be bruised atthe Statehouse, but taxpayersshould be feeling pretty goodright now. Legislative leaders didnot get their way with a handfulof pieces of legislation and thetaxpaying residents of Massachusettswere the winners. MassFiscalis pleased to have playedan important role this legislativesession with a voice protectingthe taxpayers. We are the fi rstand the last wall of resistance beforeanother set of tax hike policiesbecome law and we will notbreak. Our commitment lies withthe taxpayers and we will continueto disrupt the plans of Statehouseleaders.--- Paul Craney, a spokesmanfor the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance.“Insteadof letting fear or hatedrive the narrative around immigrants,we need to embrace thefacts: Immigrants without statuscontribute hundreds of millionsof dollars in state and local taxdollars to our region, fueling theservices so many of us dependon. Granting those without statuswork authorization is a common-sensereform that woulddramatically increase tax revenues,while helping immigrantsfeel more safe and welcome inthe state and nation they alreadycontribute so much to.”--- Elizabeth Sweet, ExecutiveDirector of the MassachusettsImmigrant and Refugee Advocacy(MIRA) Coalition, citing a studyby the Institute on Taxation andEconomic Policy showing thatImmigrants without status contributednearly $650 million instate and local taxes to Massachusettsin 2022.“Since October 7th, antisemitismhas skyrocketed acrossthe country and continues tospread through our Massachusettscommunities and institutions.Schools have posed a specialarea of concern, as eff ortscontinue to inject anti-Israel andanti-Jewish content into curricula.In a strong demonstration ofleadership and support for theJewish community, several Massachusettslegislators took initiativeto ensure Massachusettsconfronts this dangerous hate.”---From a statement by theAmerican Jewish CommitteeNew England on a section in therecently approved state budgetthat establishes a Special Commissionfor Addressing Antisemitism,and prompts the creationof curricula, resources and professionaldevelopment opportunitiesto support antisemitismeducation.HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’SSESSION?Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks thelength of time that the Houseand Senate were in session eachweek. Many legislators say thatlegislative sessions are only oneaspect of the Legislature’s joband that a lot of important workis done outside of the Houseand Senate chambers. They notethat their jobs also involve committeework, research, constituentwork and other mattersthat are important to their districts.Critics say that the Legislaturedoes not meet regularlyor long enough to debate andvote in public view on the thousandsof pieces of legislationthat have been fi led. They notethat the infrequency and brieflength of sessions are misguidedand lead to irresponsible latenightsessions and a mad rush toact on dozens of bills in the daysimmediately preceding the endof an annual session.During the week July 29-August2. the House met for a totalof 34 hours and 8 minutes andthe Senate met for a total of 36hours and 32 minutes.Mon.

Medford and Somervilleare working regionallyto develop a network of resilientcommunity centers thatcan provide on-going publicservices (e.g., afterschoolprograms and food pantries)while providing food and shelterduring heat waves and extremestorms.“These projects are examplesof how benefi cial it hasbeen to have municipal andenvironmental justice nonprofit staff working together,”said GreenRoots’ Director ofClimate Justice & WaterfrontInitiatives, John Walkey. “Everyyear we are getting better andbetter choosing and designingprojects with and for the peoplewho need our work most.”The Town of Reading submitteda regional grant to help17 communities stormproofkey community facilities. TheMetropolitan Area PlanningCouncil (MAPC) is sponsoringa regional pilot programto understand how best governmentscan communicatewith hard-to-reach vulnerableresidents — like unhousedor socially isolated people —before and during extremeweather.“With one of the hottestsummers on record we’re excitedto continue to advancelocal and regional preparednessfor extreme heat in thelower Mystic,” said MAPC PrincipalPlanner Sasha Shyduroff .“This $490,813 grant will fundcritical partnerships betweenmunicipalities, public health,and community-based organizationsto develop culturallyrelevant communicationsand strategies to talk aboutextreme heat.”RMC communities are alsoincreasingly investing inhealthy open space and urbantrees.
